ACCUMULATOR 1

30 Years of "Post Soviet" Cinema

The future Oscar winner Jan Svěrák at his experimental best. His avatar here lives in the mediated television universe. It is a playful, ironic take on Hollywood action films that flooded Czech movie theatres after 1989 and were both admired and looked down upon by domestic filmmakers. Svěrák marries action film tropes, figures and Spielbergian melodramatic touch with the ironic esprit of the 1980s humanistic comedies penned by his father Zdeněk.
